Tolkien Poetry

My 06 NaNo revolved around a group of Tolkien geeks, and so there was a great deal of Tolkien quoting going on. One character enjoys putting Tolkien’s poetry to music, and she sings the following to another character at sunset as they amble down the dirt road toward the lake.

The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began

Now far ahead the road has gone, and I must follow if I can,

Pursuing it with weary feet, Until it meets some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.
